Synchronize Directory Option

[fc62]

If you want to synchronize big directories (Several Gb) running the software overnight, frequently it is not possible to complete the operation mainly because of some confirmations that the software require for the follow condition:
- Delete only read files
- Delete hidden or system files
- Write file with target length longer than 259 characters

I suggest having the possibility to decide these options before (As it happen for example for overwrites confirmation).
The SyncDialog should have an advanced options dropdown or dialog of it's own so default Copy/Move/Delete options can be overridden on a case by case basis --- or even be able to save said options into a SyncTemplate/History item.

I would like to support this suggestion.
It is not always possible to personnally attend a sync. session and it would be effective to answer the various permissions questions before starting.
An additional drop down tick box would be very acceptable.
If it meant reading the list a second time before generating a tick box that would still be preferable to the current situation.

I agree, 5/5*

I strongly support this idea esp. for saved operations.

Most saved sync operations (F2) are routine jobs, where the necessary confirmations for deleting, overwriting files, handling of file attributes (rhs) are always the same for a given operation (usu. go ahead). This should become an extra option for saving current directories and settings.

Support this feature as well. This is also related to copying and moving files found at this post http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=40208

If you want to synchronize big directories (Several Gb) running the software overnight,

For such big task better utilize dedicated utilities like MS's RoboCopy.
